The multi-point X-ray source and phase contrast imaging used on implosion experiment

Abstract

Traditional implosion backlight imaging experiment has disadvantages of nonuniform X-ray source, low contrast ablator interface and high requirement for diagnostic device tuning precision. A novel design of multi-point X-ray source combined with phase contrast imaging developed and optimized based on experimental research performed on Shenguang-II facility is presented. The novel design can obtain high-quality experimental result with uniform X-ray source, clear interface between ablator and inner DD gas and large image view. At the same time, the new design using diagnostic silt instead of diagnostic hole improves tuning precision. The experimental result proposes that novel design of laser driven plasma point x-ray source combined with phase contrast imaging has advantage of area X-ray source combined with absorb imaging and can be widely used in inertial confinement fusion and high energy density physics.
